Make the Kerguelen islands permanently settled by civilians (i.e. not only research purposes) with a POD after 1900.
Bonus if you can give us a Kerguelen War, similar to the Falklands war.
More bonus points if you can incise something worth mentioning in/from/by means of the Kerguelen (e.g. a famous football player, a Kerguelen-origin President, or anything else)!
